Yes foolish child, Lincoln was willing to make many compromises to preserve the Union and obtain the elimination of slavery by slower routes.

Please keep up.

Yes foolish child, Lincoln was willing to make many compromises to preserve the Union and obtain the elimination of slavery by slower routes.

Like preserving it indefinitely.

Yes, that is definitely a slower route to get rid of it.

Gee, I wish I was as smart as you who understands that Lincoln had to preserving slavery to destroy it!

Oh, but wait! Didn't he actually destroy-destroy it rather than preserve-destroy it?

Seems like he did it backwards if the other way was better.
